“We’ve all heard of seeing red, but how about looking purple? Anyone? Toronto punks Dilly Dally join the lineage of fine artists with songs dedicated to the colour (Prince, erm, Gogol Bordello) by releasing Purple Rage. The video for the track, in which a mystical swamp monster covered in purple goop skulks around a city like an alien is, according to the band’s Katie Monks, symbolic of the feeling of dejection and anger.“The song antihistamine-meds from me feeling heartbroken by someone,” says Monks. “And then the reaction to it, wanting to reinvent myself, change my style and how I came across in order to distance myself from them. It’s always been a big part of my healing process whenever I get hurt, something I’m sure a lot of artists can relate to.” The gnarly, grotty, Pixie’s-influenced track is taken from their album, Sore, which will be released on 9 October.” — via The Guardian
